Default which tomato does best in a rainy area

We live in a valley and the weather is relatively wet (it rains every
2-3 days) all year long. Should I protect the tomatoes from the rain?
The temperature goes up a lot 35-38°C in the summer but air humidity
is high.

Which tomato does/would do best in a wet climate?

It sounds as if you are describing Houston. I planted my main garden
tomatoes on 2/27, hoping like heck that a late season freeze did not set
them back. I have been lucky so far!

Dona is a great variety here. I have also had good luck with Juliet
cherry/plumb. I get them at the Master Gardener plant sale, so they might
not be available in your area.
